What’s Your Favorite Scary Movie | The Ultimate Halloween Movie List
I don’t know about ya’ll, but when it comes to scary movies, I consider myself an expert. Countless hours I’ve spent curled up under the covers with cartoons blasting, after watching something so scary that I felt shadows lurking in every corner. A lot of people question why horror is my favorite genre, but all I can say is that I enjoy the thrill of being scared shitless. So if you are one of those people or just someone looking for something to watch while you cozy it up under your blanket, here is my ultimate Halloween movie list!
Is It Really Halloween If You Don’t Watch These Classics
Halloweentown (1, 2, and 3) - The fourth one gets no love here. We love Kimberly J. Brown, the original “Marnie.”

Halloween - This movie made this holiday what it is today! With 12 films in total and still counting, I will always have a place in my heart for Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
The Addams Family
